I was offered sex today, with a 21 year old girl. In exchange for that, I was supposed to advertise some kind of bathroom cleaner on internet. Of course I declined because I am a person of high moral standards with a strong willpower. Just as strong as Ajox, the super strong bathroom cleaner. Now available scented with lemon or vanilla.

Purchased a new PC a while ago (may 2013, so not so new anymore) complete with Windows 7 pre-installed.

Over the weekend, the machine pop up a message claiming my Windows is not genuine. It is the real dialog, not some fake internet-page. I did not change any hardware, and the only softwareupdate was patch 6.1 for World of Warcraft.

A quick Google shows that it is easier to download and run a crack than it is to persuade it into being "genuine" again.

Such things can happen when you buy a cheap PC from the trunk of a rusty car...
